We're Glow-Getters

Heart-centered, driven women dedicated to living at our fullest potential and helping you become the unstoppable leader you want to be.

It started with Saren Stiegel, a 28-year-old-retired attorney, burnt out with loads of self-doubt, fear of failure and playing small. She asked the pivotal question,

If I’m feeling like this (even with my degrees, worldly experiences, and gorgeous wardrobe), are other women like feeling this too?

This set her on a mission to make sure every woman and girl has the resources to access her world-changing potential and lead the way for her community.

Through our world-class online & in-person training programs, our critically-acclaimed Your Glow is Showing Podcast, The Glow Effect Centre for Women & Girls in Uganda, a book on how to build your glow effect and an audience in 42 countries, we help people like you be the best version of yourself.

Our Glowbal Ambassadors

From the radical women professionals transforming the male-dominated workplaces, to the powerhouse women reframing “stay-at- home moms” to be “stay-at-home badasses,” and the girls shifting the “I-am-not-enough” culture, our Glowbal Ambassadors are undeniable proof that the drain of female potential is a thing of the past.

Yes, this is a business, a social enterprise (both LLC and non-profit) to be specific. Yes, we sell things, which allows us to support underprivileged women and girls access resources for their world-changing potential. But you should know that the vast majority of our creative work is offered to you 100% free of charge.

We’re not spewing out information (you have to live our goods for results) and we don’t have all the answers. We make mistakes, have shitty days and get mired in fear and self-doubt, just like the rest of humanity. This is why we’re doing the growth work just like you.

Our Mantra:

We empower ourselves to empower others.

Our commitment is to bring you the very best of what we’re living and learning, and keep it real and raw as we go. Please don’t expect perfect polish (we’re too direct for that), but do expect thought-provoking ideas, timeless wisdom, some goofy antics and an unwavering devotion to help you live your most purposeful, powerful and unstoppable life.

If you’ve read this far, thank you. We hope this is just the beginning of our relationship. And, we’d love to learn more about you. The best way to share that and stay connected is to make sure you become one of our TGE Insiders — just enter your name and email. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. We’re thrilled to be connected and excited for the journey ahead.

Love and glow,

Saren & The Glow Team

The Glow Team

We help women and girls to transform their challenges into their strengths. Through our unique process of self-discovery, energizing relationships, and creating impact, we are raising the standards for how women and girls treat themselves, each other and the world.

LAUREN EXTON

Media Director

Lauren Exton is our cheeky, uncompromisingly honest, Media Director. Affectionately known as Lozza, her resume reads like your next round-the-world trip itinerary – from a business banker on Australia’s Gold Coast, an entertainment director on Caribbean cruiseliners, a teacher-aide for foster children in London, to a prime-time, national television and radio producer. Her life in the fast lane means that meditation, understanding her stories, and becoming ultra-present are parts of every day. When she can look in the mirror and feel like she’s setting a good example – she’s a happy little Vegemite!

STEPHANIE OLSON

Field Coordinator

A Pacific Northwest girl, Stephanie likes nothing more than taking her brazen spirit to the woods to reconnect with nature. From studying Arabic in Morocco to nurturing her love for nature as a Naturalist in Alaska to being a tour guide for luxury cycling holidays in France, she has an embedded connection to the simple life and the importance of sustainability. She is passionate about bringing positive change to the world through exploring the untapped potential of women and future generations while maintaining a connection to the Earth.

JASMINE ELATAB

Operations Director

Born with the gift of advocacy, Jasmine uses her attorney skills to speak for those without a voice. She is a believer in the magic of possibilities and is in a perpetual state of wanderlust. Lit up by the smell of the ocean, she lives for watermelon on hot sunny days, and can be found cuddling any stray animal she crosses paths with. It doesn’t make a difference if she is in the courtroom, working with #glowgetters to see their light, or off the grid in a rural community, you’ll find her leading with her heart – on a mission to heal individuals and communities, near and far.

SAREN STIEGEL

Founder + CEO

Saren Stiegel is the vibrant creator of The Glow Effect, retired attorney, author, adventure traveler and lover of French Fries. Though she’ll forever be a Pittsburgh girl at heart, she now lives and loves in LA. If she’s not getting vulnerable with the glow-getter tribe, you can find her yoga-ing, secluding herself in the woods, or indulging in her unhealthy addiction to Friday Night Lights. Whether it’s through leading glow-getter discussions, creating sparkly connections, or going door-to-door in rural Uganda, her mission is to ignite a culture of female freedom to be your whole + most powerful self.
